Create an event

If you do not find a suitable existing event, you can create your own.

1. Navigate to System Policy > Events > Registry.
2. Click New and fill in the form.
3. Click the Business Rules related link.
4. If you are creating an event for a base system table, select the existing event business rule for the table.
   For example, select the sc request events business rule to create a custom Request event.
5. If you are updating an existing event business rule, add a new condition to the Script.
   The following sample script adds a request.commented event with the user's Sys ID as parm1 and the user's user name for parm2.

   if (current.operation() != 'insert' && current.comments.changes()) {
   gs.eventQueue('request.commented', current, gs.getUserID(), gs.getUserName());
   }

6. If you are creating an event for a custom table, create a new business rule that runs after database operations.
   For example, this business rule defines several events for a custom application called Marketing Events.

   Table 1. Sample event business rule

   Field	Value
   Name	Attendee Events
   Table	Attendee [x_snc_marketing_ev_attendee]
   Application	Marketing Events
   Advanced	Selected
   When	after
   Insert	Selected
   Update	Selected
   Delete	Selected
   Script	Add custom script that: Checks for one or more conditions on the current record. Calls the gs.eventQueue() method and specifies an event name. See code sample.

   Note: If you add Filter Conditions, Role conditions, or a Condition value, verify it runs the business rule when expected.

   (function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {
      //This function will be automatically called when this rule is processed.
           //Add event when attendee inserted
           if(current.operation() == 'insert' && current.marketing_event.changes()) {
                   gs.eventQueue('x_snc_marketing_ev.attendee.added', current,
   current.marketing_event, current.email);
           }
           //Add event when marketing event changes
           if(current.operation() == 'update' && current.marketing_event.changes()) {
                   gs.eventQueue('x_snc_marketing_ev.attendee.deleted', previous,
   previous.marketing_event, previous.email);
                   gs.eventQueue('x_snc_marketing_ev.attendee.added', current,
   current.marketing_event, current.email);
           }
           //Add event when attendee deleted
           if(current.operation() == 'delete') {
                   gs.eventQueue('x_snc_marketing_ev.attendee.deleted', current,
                 current.marketing_event, current.email);
   }
   })(current, previous);

7. Register the event.
